Just wanted to come back here to say that I think the red pebbles with the goldish sheen my have contributed to the death of my betta. I put the pebbles in within the past two weeks or so and yesterday he died. I couldn't figure out what might have caused his death as he had been acting quite...

Well, I've removed all the red/gold pebbles and we now have a new dark blue betta named Fishie. I was impressed at how active and healthy all the bettas looked at our WalMart store. I think they have a real fish nerd working there becuase he's always fussing over the fish. Thanks for all the...

Thanks for the sympathy. We just got done with the funeral. We buried him under the grapevine. Yes, I keep the fish water in jugs with lids. And it's sitting out so it's the same temp as the water in the bowl. I have a thought. I had some blue glass pebbles in with him that I bought in the...

I posted here a month or so ago about my betta. He had holes in his fins, but otherwise seemed pretty healthy. I learned more about how to take care of him and moved him from a 1/2 gallon bowl to a 2 gallon bowl. He didn't seem to have fin rot, just holes in his lower fin which I was assured...

Can I use glass pebbles from the flower department as well as the ones you find with the fish supplies? There are some cool red ones with a goldish sheen to them in the flower supplies that will look good with my betta. (He's whitish with hints of blue with reddish-gold fins.) I've got some...

Thanks for the pointers! Unfortunately we don't really have room for a regular tank. I could probably handle a bigger bowl though. Our regular tap water (well water) is so hard that it must be softened. That makes it sort of unpalletable to drink so we have a built in filter system and...

Hello! I have a male betta who has developed holes in his lower fin. I don't THINK that this is fin rot, as his fins look fine other than these holes. We've had him for about five months and the holes developed slowly. I freely admit that I am still learning about how to properly keep a...
